Uncle Wally's Old Brown Shoe

32 pp. | Orca | October, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4598-0154-7 $19.95
(4) K-3 "This is the pig in the fancy hat / That tickled the kitten / That drove around in Uncle Wally's old brown shoe." This bizarre "House That Jack Built"–esque cumulative tale adds ever more creatures: a frog with "handy stilts," a musical dog, and finally Uncle Wally himself, a tiger in striped pajamas. Chaotic illustrations are filled with dreamlike details.
